ITableSet Interface

This is a read-only interface that retrieves information about the set of tables used in a particular report. Information about each table—for example the table name and alias name—is stored in an array; this array is considered to be the tableset. To retrieve this interface, use the GetInterface Function or the GET_TABLESET_INTERFACE Macro.

Subreports are processed individually from the main report, which means that the processing extension may receive numerous calls for the same report object ID. However, for each call, the report context may change. For example, if the user is viewing the main report, then IProcessRequest is called with the report context of the main report. Any requests for the report ID, title, or tables will return the main report's information. If the user drills down on a subreport, then IProcessRequest is called with the report context of the subreport, and the subreport's information is returned. Use the GetReportTitle Function to determine whether the report being processed is the main report or a subreport.
